About Comfort Home Care

Comfort Home Care was founded in 1999 in Rockville, Maryland. We provide in-home care for seniors and disabled individuals in and around Montgomery County, Maryland.

Our Story

We started our business after going through the stress and anguish of trying to find reliable, qualified, well-trained caregivers for our own parents. We wanted to respect their wishes to age in place, but we needed to be sure that they remained safe, comfortable and happy. It was also important for us that they maintain their dignity and independence. Finding reliable, compassionate, genuine in-home care for our loved ones was very difficult and frustrating and we wanted to eliminate these challenges for other families.

Nineteen years later we are a well-established and respected family run business, locally owned and operated, and not part of a franchise. We continually receive outstanding feedback from our clients and their families, as well as local referring professionals that recommend our services with confidence.

Our Team

The members of our management team have personally experienced the stress involved in trying to juggle caring for their loved one safely, while trying to manage their own lives and families. We feel that this puts us at an advantage for understanding how our clients are feeling and what they are going through at this difficult time.

We see our clients’ care as a team effort. There are often times many people involved in caring for a senior loved one: the adult children, extended family, friends, even doctors and physical therapists may be involved in working to support the senior. To achieve the best outcome, we integrate into the team to provide the best possible support for our clients.

Core Values

Offering excellence in service, genuine and compassionate care and consistently outstanding performance are key to our guiding principles. We are passionate about the care we provide and treat our clients, as well as our referral partners, with the respect and cooperation they deserve.

Comfort Home Care takes great pride in hiring the very best qualified and experienced caregivers to our team. All of our caregivers are Certified Nursing Assistants or Geriatric Nursing assistants, licensed by the state of Maryland, with years of experience. Our hiring process is rigorous, including verbal and written skills assessments, in-person interviews, health screenings, nationwide criminal background checks and personal reference checks. We only hire individuals that we would feel confident to care for our own families.
